9.It'll be an ordinary morning,like all the others.But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm clock,you'll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee,light entering your room as the curtains open automatically,and a gentle back massage provided by your high-tech bed.
This is what a typical person's life will be like two decades from now,according to The Guardian.Want to know more?
After you get up,your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor.With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions,you'll be able to control your apartment's temperature,humidity,music and lighting.You'll be able to look through the day's news on translucent (半透明的)screens while your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.
As you move into your kitchen,maybe you will stub your toe on the edge of a cabinet.You'll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics app.Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip that uses X-ray waves to scan your body.The scan will reveal that your toe is just bruised,not broken,which will convince you not to see a doctor.
After breakfast,your driverless car will take you to work.While you drive,your central computer system will suggest a list of chores your housekeeping robots could see to today and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother's upcoming birthday.
As you can see,with the help of advanced technologies,our lives will be more efficient.Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us,such as buying a ticket or trying to remember our kids'parent-teacher meeting.Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing"deep thinking".
However,the development of technology might have some shortcomings as well.By 2033,we'll be relying heavily on the virtual world,which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud,a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity.That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing,sharing or manipulating (操控) our personal information.

67.What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?B.
A.To stress the importance of developing technology.
B.To describe how advanced technologies will affect our future lives.
C.To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.
D.To remind people not to depend too much on computers.
68.According to the text,in two decades,C.
A.you'll be able to rely on an electronic orchestra to wake you up instead of an alarm clock
B.a tiny microchip in your phone will treat you when you arc sick
C.you will be able to adjust the conditions of your apartment via oral instructions or simple hand gestures
D.technology will be smart enough to help us with important things like preparing for a presentation
69.What docs the underlined word"mitigate"in Paragraph 6mean?C.
A.Cure.B.Worsen.C.Make up for.D.Take advantage of.
70.Which best describes the author's attitude toward our future lives?B.
A.Worried.B.Objective.C.Positive.D.Negative.

Like human beings, dogs may catch cold because of cold weather, wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs. If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏), then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.

A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power(免疫力)to get rid of the cold naturally. Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.

You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. Healthy food can really do wonders. Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet(兽医)or is healthy for your pet. Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A, C and E.

Keep your dog warm. The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets. This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.

Increase the fluid(流质)intake as it helps a lot. Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth(肉汤)in water which will give your dog strength. Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections(呼吸道感染).

Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. It makes the nasal(鼻的)passage wet, which helps proper breathing. Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes. Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.

These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. However, if you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help immediately. Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications(并发症).

1.From the first paragraph we know about __________.

A.the difficulty in keeping a dog as a pet

B.characteristics(特征) of sick dogs

C.the similarities between dogs and human beings

D.causes and symptoms(症状)of cold in dogs

2.When your dog catches cold, you should feed it on _______.

A.its favorite food B.the suggested food by the vet

C.some meat and water D.food rich in vitamin B

3.When a dog catches cold, it is wrong to ________.

A.keep it inside during cold and wet weather

B.leave it inside the bathroom full of steam

C.let it eat too much solid(固体)food

D.keep it sleeping on carpets at home

4.It can be learnt from the text that _________.

A.a dog’s cold can always disappear naturally

B.it’s quite easy to make a sick dog recover from cold

C.treating a dog’s cold sometimes needs a vet’s help

D.cold in dogs won’t spread between each other.

Everybody is happy as his pay rises.Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one.Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross.Such behavior is regarded as "all too human", with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness.But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.

The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys.They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily.Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of "goods and services" than males.

Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan's study.The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food.Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber.However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.

In the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers).So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber.And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber.Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.

The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses.In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living.Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated.Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone.Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group.However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.

1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world.

B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated.

C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.

D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes; for grapes are more attractive.

2.Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are __ _.

A. more likely to weigh what they get

B. attentive to researchers’ instructions

C. nice in both appearance and behaviors

D. more ready to help others than their male companions

3.Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Human beings' feelings of anger are developed from the monkeys.

B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.

C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.

D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating back to 35 million years ago.

4.What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarah's study?

A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses.

B. They usually show their feelings openly as humans do.

C. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment.

D. Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild.

4.When an elementary school teacher in Philadelphia nicknamed Will Smith"The Prince",she didn't know how famous that nickname would become.Young Will had such a smooth way of talking that his teachers said he sounded as if he were born of royalty(高贵).
Will was interested in music,especially rap music.He began rapping when he was 12years old.Although he soon became good enough to make a recording,Will hesitated to do so.At that time,rap music featured a lot of violence.Will was against violence in songs.He could see that violence had a negative effect on many young listeners.
As he grew older,Will's charm and sense of humor impressed many people.He was offered acting jobs and soon became well-known in his television sitcom (情景喜剧),The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.The show was successful,and Will lived up to his nickname.Will's acting career led to starring roles in major motion pictures.Independence Day which starred Will Smith,earned more money than any movie in 1996.The following year,Men in Black earned the most money in 1997.The soundtrack(原声带) from Men in Black gave Will fame as a recording artist.He began mixing his interests,music and acting.His new Men in Black rock video won the MTV Music Award,while his next film,Enemy of the State,thrilled (使兴奋) adventure seekers.
Although Will has enjoyed great success in his acting career,music is still his first love.He finds singing and writing lyrics much more challenging than acting.Although Will's sense of humor is evident in his music,he often writes songs with meaning and purpose.Just the Two of Us is a song he wrote for his young son.Will wants his son to know something about him when he is older.Family and friends are very important to Will.They are what encourage him to continue in his career.

However,Lee's career didn't go smoothly at first.After graduation,Lee got few opportunities in his dream field,and remained unemployed for six years.During this time,he was a full-time house-husband,while his wife Jane Lin,a biologist,was the sole breadwinner for the family of four.This arrangement put enormous pressure on the couple,but with Lin's support and understanding,Lee did not abandon his career in film but continued to create new ideas from movies and performances.He also wrote several screenplays during this time.
In 1990,Lee produced two screenplays,Pushing Hands and The Wedding Banquet,and they came in first and second respectively.The winning screenplays brought Lee to the attention of Li-Kong Hsu,who had a strong interest in Lee's unique style and freshness.Hsu,a first-time producer,invited Lee to direct Pushing Hands,debuted(首映) in 1991.From then on,he began his splendid career.

18.A poor shepherd,whose name was Tony Barbara,lived in Scotland.It was his business to take care of the sheep which belonged to a rich landholder(地主).Sometimes he had several hundreds of lambs to look after.He drove these lambs to the pastures(牧场) on the hills and watched them day after day.
He had a dog which he called Hugo.This dog helped him watch the sheep.He would drive them from place to place as his master wished.

The shepherd soon lost sight of them in the darkness.With his lighted lantern in his hand,he went up and down the rough hills calling for his lambs.
Two or three other shepherds joined him in the search.All night long they looked for the lambs.At last Tony Barbara said,"It's of no use; all we can do is go home and tell the master that we have lost his whole flock(群)."
They had walked a mile or two towards home,when they came to the edge of a narrow and deep valley.They looked down,and at the bottom they saw some lambs huddling(挤作一团) together among the rocks.And there was Hugo standing guard over them.They counted them and were surprised to find that not one lamb of the great flock of seven hundred was missing.
